More Lawsuits for Morning DJ's???

Well it's become positively epidemic. First the legendary John Derringer is sued by Tie Domi for insinuating that Tie took some dough for his charity work and now my buddy Bill Carroll is under fire too.
The difference is Money.
Lots of it.
Derringer is getting sued for $950 grand. Bupkis compared to Carroll.
Check this out.
Tim Hortons Inc. is seeking $35 million in general and punitive damages each from CanWest, Standard Radio (which owns Toronto station CFRB) and Carroll, for falsely stating that the company received a multimillion-dollar subsidy from Ottawa in support of the Kandahar outlet.

Cool. $35 million dollars. Now We're Talking!! That's like Erin Davis money.

In his Nov. 1, 2006, radio broadcast, Carroll said: "If Tim Hortons wants to have a franchise in Afghanistan, it's a pretty good public relations gesture ... Then let them pay for it."
In a Global TV commentary, he said: "Tim Hortons has been sliding by on the great publicity about the Kandahar franchise all these months and then Global uncovers the dirty little secret. You and I, the taxpayers, are picking up $4 or 5 million dollars a year so that they can look good to the public ... Shame on Tim Hortons."

Tim Horton's says the reports were false and defamatory. They added that "The new breakfast sandwich is actually pretty good and not as greasy as the one at Mcdonalds!"
(Okay, I added that last part, but it's true. Not big on the Timmy's coffee though. Seriously.)

Listen, I know Bill Carroll and you sir are no Bill Carroll. He is too smart to go shooting off his mouth on Radio and TV without something to back up his claims.
I'm betting he had some info prior to the aforementioned Mouth-Shooting Off.

We'll see, all I know is it's:
A)Great Publicity.
B)Great Publicity.
C)See A+B.
